Peacefully grant the State of Texas to withdraw from the United States of America and create its own NEW government.
The US continues to suffer economic difficulties stemming from the federal government's neglect to reform domestic and foreign spending. The citizens of the US suffer from blatant abuses of their rights such as the NDAA, the TSA, etc. Given that the state of Texas maintains a balanced budget and is the 15th largest economy in the world, it is practically feasible for Texas to withdraw from the union, and to do so would protect it's citizens' standard of living and re-secure their rights and liberties in accordance with the original ideas and beliefs of our founding fathers which are no longer being reflected by the federal government.

As of Saturday November 10, 2012, 15 States have petitioned the Obama Administration for withdrawal from the United States of America in order to create its own government.

States following this action include: Louisiana, Texas, Montana, North Dakota, Indiana, Mississippi, Kentucky, North Carolina, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, New Jersey, Colorado, Oregon and New York. These States have requested that the Obama Administration grant a peaceful withdrawal from the United States.

These citizen generated petitions were filed just days after the 2012 Presidential election.

Louisiana was the first State to file a petition a day after the election by a Michael E. from Slidell, Louisiana. Texas was the next State to follow by a Micah H. from Arlington, Texas.

The government allows one month from the day the petition is submitted to obtain 25,000 signatures in order for the Obama administration to consider the request.

The Texas petition reads as follows:

The US continues to suffer economic difficulties stemming from the federal government’s neglect to reform domestic and foreign spending. The citizens of the US suffer from blatant abuses of their rights such as the NDAA, the TSA, etc. Given that the state of Texas maintains a balanced budget and is the 15th largest economy in the world, it is practically feasible for Texas to withdraw from the union, and to do so would protect it’s citizens’ standard of living and re-secure their rights and liberties in accordance with the original ideas and beliefs of our founding fathers which are no longer being reflected by the federal government.

The white guy rednecks/cowboys. Fiercely independent, well armed and about three pubic hairs away from saying "**** it, let's blow shit up" at any given time. They also believed that they had God on their side in just about any conflict.

Tejanos. Fully aware that they were a culture-within-a-culture and very proud of their heritage. Not willing to give up an inch to an asshole or put up with bullshit of any kind. They are saddened that Mexico has fallen as far as it has and sure as shit don't want that failure in their own back yard.

Actual ranchers/farmers. Tough as a mother****er. Used to hard work, and able to out-stubborn any mule ever born. Will kill you with any available farm implement if no firearm handy.

NRA types and survivalists. Armed. I mean seriously armed. They think that they are special forces and many actually do belong to active militias. They would view an invasion in much the same way that video gamers view the Zombie Apocolypse. A great reason to finally be able to kill shit.

City boys. You know. Dallas. Fort Worth. These guys stay mostly in the large towns. **** these guys. They're gonna die. Don't worry though. Plenty of people will be coming down from Colorado and Wyoming that are meaner and better armed. The Southern boys in Mississippi/Alabama/Georgia etc. will be coming over too. Don't get in their way.

Oh, before I forget, they'd have to fight North through areas held by the drug cartels before they even got to the border. Those cartels probably wouldn't look too fondly on the elimination of clientele.

Here is the problem with that theory. By your own admission: screw the city folks they are going to die. They are also the majority of the population.

The numbers aren't in their favor.

They don't have to be. You think Jim Bobby Bill Joe McStutterpants isn't going to leap up from his three legged chair and rush out of his thatch house in Dirty Gulch, Georgia to kill hisself some Messicans? Shit. That pick-up truck isn't going to stop til it gets to San Antone. Pigs will be left un****ed for months.

It would make a hell of a better remake of Red Dawn than that stupid Korean bullshit too. Texas secedes. They are invaded and fighting off all of Central America. People from all over the US (OK, mostly the ex-Confederacy) head down there to volunteer to defend Texas while the Federal government officially stays out of it.
